- ItemBistability and hysteresis in an optically injected two-section semiconductor laser(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Pimenov, Alexander; Viktorov, Evgeniy A.; Hegarty, Stephen P.; Habruseva, Tatiana; Huyet, Guillaume; Rachinskii, Dmitrii; Vladimirov, Andrei G.The effect of coherent single frequency injection on two-section semiconductor lasers is studied numerically using a model based on a set of delay differential equations. The existence of bistability between different CW and non-stationary regimes of operation is demonstrated in the case of sufficiently large linewidth enhancement factors.
- ItemOn multivariate chi-square distributions and their applications in testing multiple hypotheses(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Dickhaus, Thorsten; Royen, ThomasWe are considered with three different types of multivariate chi-square distributions. Their members play important roles as limiting distributions of vectors of test statistics in several applications of multiple hypotheses testing. We explain these applications and provide formulas for computing multiplicity-adjusted p-values under the respective global hypothesis.

- ItemDynamics of micro-integrated external-cavity diode lasers: Simulations, analysis and experiments(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Tronciu, Vasile Z.; Luvsandamdin, Erdenetsetseg; Kürbis, Christian; Wicht, Andreas; Wenzel, HansThis paper reports the results of numerical and experimental investigations of the dynamics of an external cavity diode laser device composed of a semiconductor laser and a distant Bragg grating, which provides an optical feedback. Due to the influence of the feedback, this system can operate at different dynamic regimes. The traveling wave model is used for simulations and analysis of the nonlinear dynamics in the considered laser device. Based on this model, a detailed analysis of the optical modes is performed, and the stability of the stationary states is discussed. It is shown, that the results obtained from the simulation and analysis of the device are in good agreement with experimental findings.
- ItemOptimal distributed control of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard/Navier-Stokes system in 2D(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Frigeri, Sergio Pietro; Rocca, Elisabetta; Sprekels, JürgenWe study a diffuse interface model for incompressible isothermal mixtures of two immiscible fluids coupling the Navier-Stokes system with a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation in two dimensions of space. We apply recently proved well-posedness and regularity results in order to establish existence of optimal controls as well as first-order necessary optimality conditions for an associated optimal control problem in which a distributed control is applied to the fluid flow.
- ItemAll functions are locally s-harmonic up to a small error(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Dipierro, Serena; Savin, Ovidiu; Valdinoci, EnricoWe show that we can approximate every function f Ck (B1) with a s-harmonic function in B1 that vanishes outside a compact set. That is, s-harmonic functions are dense in Ck loc. This result is clearly in contrast with the rigidity of harmonic functions in the classical case and can be viewed as a purely nonlocal feature.
- ItemEntropic solutions to a thermodynamically consistent PDE system for phase transitions and damage(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Rocca, Elisabetta; Rossi, RiccardaIn this paper we analyze a PDE system modelling (non-isothermal) phase transitions and damage phenomena in thermoviscoelastic materials. The model is thermodynamically consistent: in particular, no small perturbation assumption is adopted, which results in the presence of quadratic terms on the right-hand side of the temperature equation, only estimated in L1. The whole system has a highly nonlinear character. We address the existence of a weak notion of solution, referred to as entropic, where the temperature equation is formulated with the aid of an entropy inequality, and of a total energy inequality. This solvability concept reflects the basic principles of thermomechanics as well as the thermodynamical consistency of the model. It allows us to obtain global-in-time existence theorems without imposing any restriction on the size of the initial data. We prove our results by passing to the limit in a time discretization scheme, carefully tailored to the nonlinear features of the PDE system (with its entropic formulation), and of the a priori estimates performed on it. Our time-discrete analysis could be useful towards the numerical study of this model.
- ItemOn the Simes inequality in elliptical models(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Bodnar, Taras; Dickhaus, ThorstenWe provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the inequality of Simes (1986) in models with elliptical dependencies. Necessary conditions are presented in terms of sufficient conditions for the reverse Simes inequality. One application of our main results concerns the problem of model misspecification, in particular the case that the assumption of Gaussianity of test statistics is violated. Since our sufficient conditions require nonnegativity of correlation coefficients between test statistics, we also develop exact tests for vectors of correlation coefficients.
- ItemOn nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes systems in two dimensions(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Frigeri, Sergio; Gal, Cipian G.; Grasselli, MaurizioWe consider a diffuse interface model which describes the motion of an incompressible isothermal mixture of two immiscible fluids. This model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation. Several results were already proven by two of the present authors. However, in the two-dimensional case, the uniqueness of weak solutions was still open. Here we establish such a result even in the case of degenerate mobility and singular potential. Moreover, we show the strong-weak uniqueness in the case of viscosity depending on the order parameter, provided that the mobility is constant and the potential is regular. In the case of constant viscosity, on account of the uniqueness results we can deduce the connectedness of the global attractor whose existence was obtained in a previous paper. The uniqueness technique can be adapted to show the validity of a smoothing property for the difference of two trajectories which is crucial to establish the existence of an exponential attractor.
- ItemUniqueness in inverse elastic scattering from unbounded rigid surfaces of rectangular type(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui; Yamamoto, MasahiroConsider the two-dimensional inverse elastic scattering problem of recovering a piecewise linear rigid rough or periodic surface of rectangular type for which the neighboring line segments are always perpendicular.We prove the global uniqueness with at most two incident elastic plane waves by using near-field data. If the Lamé constants satisfy a certain condition, then the data of a single plane wave is sufficient to imply the uniqueness. Our proof is based on a transcendental equation for the Navier equation, which is derived from the expansion of analytic solutions to the Helmholtz equation. The uniqueness results apply also to an inverse scattering problem for non-convex bounded rigid bodies of rectangular type.
